DENVER — It’s a good thing UFC President Dana White developed quick feet years ago as an amateur boxer.

The fighters at the UFC 135 weigh-in Friday — all of whom made weight — put White to the test. White usually lets his fighters manage their own stare down photos after making weight and only breaks them apart when necessary.

He had to jump in the middle more than usual at the Wells Fargo Theatre, separating four different sets of opponents. The main event, unsurprisingly, was one of them.

A few of the preliminary card fighters showed hostility on the same level of Jones vs. Jackson. Featherweights Junior Assuncao (145) and Eddie Yagin (145) couldn’t even pose for a photo, because Assuncao charged into his opponent seconds after he made weight.

A similar scenario occurred for the next fight on the card, a middleweight bout between Nick Ring (185) and Tim Boetsch (186).

Nate Diaz (156) and Takanori Gomi (155) kept their distance at the beginning of their stare down. But Diaz snuck closer and began talking to Gomi, which prompted to White to also cut that encounter short.

Conor McGregor became more than UFC featherweight champion with his 13-second knockout victory over Jose Aldo. He became the UFC. McGregor transcended into a level above any other fighter by living up to every promise about what he’d do to the only previous 145-pound champion in UFC history. And he set a slew of records doing it, including creating a live gate of $10.1 million at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta later said McGregor would become the first man to make more than $100 million in the octagon. The new era didn’t stop with McGregor. Luke Rockhold unseated previously undefeated Chris Weidman in the main event to become the seventh middleweight champion in UFC history.
